  • Patent number: 11958358
    Abstract: Configuration, in which images output to a display unit are switched and displayed in accordance with the behavior of a driver, such as movements of the head of the driver, is achieved. Driver information indicating the behavior of the driver of a moving apparatus and images captured by a plurality of cameras that images a situation around the moving apparatus from different viewpoints are input. The images output to the display unit are switched in accordance with the driver information. The plurality of cameras is, for example, a plurality of rear cameras installed in the rear of the moving apparatus. For example, a direction of the face or line-of-sight of the driver is detected. An image in a direction corresponding to the detected direction of the face or line-of-sight of the driver is selected as an output image, and displayed on the display unit. Alternatively, an image in a direction indicated by a gesture of the driver is selected, and displayed on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 11958799
    Abstract: In a method for producing hydrogen and carboxylic acid, a primary alcohol of 1 to 7 carbon atoms and water are reacted by being continuously introduced into a flow reactor packed with a solid catalyst consisting of an alloy of ruthenium and tin on a support and passed through the reactor under temperature and pressure conditions at which the water assumes a gaseous state. This method enables hydrogen and carboxylic acid to be produced in a high yield or at a high purity from a primary alcohol and water in a short time and by simple operations.

  • Patent number: 10732409
    Abstract: A screen for a head-up display device includes a main body layer sandwiched between a first concave optical surface located at an observation side and a second convex optical surface located at a side opposite to the observation side. A thickness of the main body layer becomes thinner from a center toward a periphery with regard to a lateral direction which is perpendicular to a reference plane, and a variation of the thickness of the main body layer with regard to a vertical direction parallel to the reference plane is different between the central part center and the peripheral part periphery with regard to the lateral direction.
